Remember how excited you were about the Mueller report, as CNN and WaPo would announce its lie of the day? All lies. There was no truth to any of it. No truth to any accusation of a major issue with trump. All lies. You, Wharfrat, Chris, Lane and the others, all sucked in by it. You never admitted one of the lies. You just ascot as though there was something of truth, and there was not. Not one significant charge landed. Not one significant charge landed [from the Mueller Report]. Somehow you manage to ignore the fact that Mueller himself said he couldn't indict a sitting president due to DoJ rules. But carry on with your absurdities; you do seem to get a kick out of it so I suppose we shouldn't deprive someone of his joy. Mueller clarifies comments on whether he could indict Trump The special counsel's report said he never came to a determination about whether the president should be charged because of DOJ rules. July 24, 2019, 12:58 PM EDT / Updated July 24, 2019, 4:00 PM EDT By Dareh Gregorian Former special counsel Robert Mueller testified Wednesday that he did not indict President Donald Trump on obstruction of justice charges because of Department of Justice guidelines barring a sitting president from being indicted — but later clarified his remarks. The confusion came amid questioning from Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California during Mueller's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee. Lieu recounted the three elements needed for the crime of obstruction of justice. "I believe a reasonable person looking at these facts could conclude that all three elements of the crime of obstruction of justice have been met, and I'd like to ask you the reason, again, you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC (the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel) opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?" Lieu asked. "That is correct," Mueller asked. continues at nbcnews.com
